Fall Camp 2018 Coverage - #RiseAsOne

April and May must be confusing for a lot of people after all the best shape of his career stories in Spring Training.

Marshé Terry and Omar Fortt should be standouts on D. The O Line will be much better as will Pindell. The fact that we've identified some pretty good depth at all positions---and are way ahead of last year's "collective confusion", should give us all some confidence. Don't be shocked if we're the surprise team of the AAC this year.

You almost had me there......I hope you are right

I think we're set up to win the last five games.

It could play out something like that. I just don't see how such a young team can be expected to take on this early schedule and pull out Ws. If the talent is in fact there, it should show itself later in the season when experience takes hold and the schedule is a bit easier.

I think it's going to come down to whether we really have some young athletes on the defense. We have simply got to be able to run better from the LB positions.

Isn't the entire basis of being the surprise team of the year that, if it happens, you are supposed to be surprised?

Actually it’s never surprising to the person who predicts it. I won’t be surprised. But all the pessimists, naysayers and pundits who picked us to finish near the bottom certainly will be.
 
At some point in all this you have to be a fan. I will be there against UCF, turn my brain off a bit, and have my heart set on a win and pull for the guys. Yeah, you set yourself up for some disappointment, but it's what you do as a fan.

15-0 baby, our first football national championship!

We haven't had a non-losing season since 2010. With a tough schedule this year + a majority of roster spots filled by underclassmen, predicting another losing season isn't pessimism. Its realism.

All correct. But with 15 days to go to kick off, this is when the eternal optimist peak and are allowed their glory.

“Non-losing”? That’s what half-empty folks say. Half-full folks say “We haven’t had a “winning season” since 2010. :-)
 
Wish we were starting off the season with an FCS opponent so we could build some momentum. UCF and Boise are going to be a bear for a young team.

OTOH, struggling to get past FCS teams to start the year like we've been doing can't be good for the team mentality either.

Well... about the RB depth:

Yeah heard the rumor - was waiting for this to drop.

Now Black and Gill have a serious opportunity to play more than four games this year. And maybe Blanton gets moved back to RB....

I dont love the idea of Buss carrying the ball....dont think he has the durability.

Star Wars wasn't realism yet it has been one of the biggest successes in movie history.
 
Problem being with Blanton, he and O'Reilly are not analogous. O'Reilly and Buss are (close at least).
